The Capital1 Solar Spikers hope to finally barge into the win column as it takes on the Akari Chargers in the featured nightcap of the PVL on Tour Tuesday, July 15, at the Playtime Filoil Arena in San Juan.

Still winless in four outings, the Solar Spikers are hungry for a breakthrough after a heartbreaking five-set loss to the ZUS Coffee Thunderbelles.

Despite the skid, Capital1 continues to rely on the efforts of mainstays Trisha Genesis, Shola Alvarez, and Sydney Niegos to keep them in striking distance, even with key Alas Pilipinas stars Bella Belen and Leila Cruz still unavailable for action.

However, the challenge won’t get any easier for the Jorge De Brito-led squad, as the Chargers are also desperate to get back on track and bolster their Pool B campaign.

First serve between Capital1 and Akari is scheduled for 6:30 p.m. at the San Juan venue.
